He caught up to you! Ha Ha. I see your back in the saddle again; were you sick?? Hope all is well. And yes I see the big bad trough as well...but Chris is hanging in....ast least for the moment. He is actually showing of signs that he might strengthen again, with convection building around the center. Seems to be dumb-belling around the center, whcih is N-S right now and really closer to 28.5 IMO. It ain't over til it's over. Hey Ed, you think this season will conclude early? I seem to remember you saying something like that. Have we had all the excitement we're going to see this year? That would be dull. I still think we'll see at least 11 named storms this year. Cheers!!
